MANILA, Philippines – Maria Clara at Ibarra, the hit historical fantasy drama series starring Barbie Forteza, Julie Anne San Jose, and Dennis Trillo, will be available on Netflix.
According to a GMA Network report, the series is set to premiere on the streaming platform on April 14.
Maria Clara at Ibarra follows the story of Klay (Barbie Forteza), a Gen Z nursing student who wakes up and finds herself in the world of Rizal’s novels Noli Me Tangere and El Filibesturismo.
